What's worrying, even if Putin is removed from power, who's there to replace him that is fit for the job?

Most if not all opposition has been either imprisoned or killed.

It's the start of the holidays. My daughter is 11 y/o and I'm currently unemployed. I would like to do some projects with her that may interest her/us while enjoying the time together. Any suggestions/ ideas would be great!

This begs the question:

If an asteroid was discovered coming our way and potentially destroying humanity in let's say 10 yrs, would they tell us?

Bonus question:

If the news would break, how would humanity react?

I'm not a good swimmer, but curiously I was never afraid to jump in the water. With some friends on the beach, I went out for a swim, until I had the feeling the sea was getting rougher and me getting tired. At some point, anxiety kicked in and the feeling I was loosing strength and not reaching the beach fast enough. I tried the position several times in the hope to rest a bit, but everytime I got so much water in the face that gave me the feeling to get waterboarded, I could only stay a few moments. Close to what felt as the end, I had the last strength to lift my shoulders out the water and call my friends, who saved me.
